After some pretty heavy reading on the game's high fantasy setting and mechanics, you're cast in the role of the Sundren, a High Elf and one of the many heroes you'll encounter in the game. Upon launching the game for the first time you are recommended to try out the Elven campaign (the game has two campaigns, the second sees you playing as the oppressive Commonwealth).
While I haven't played the original games, the latest title is a great entry to the series for newcomers like myself, and has plenty of depth that should satisfy die-hard fans. It’s no surprise since this empire-building title appears to have learned quite a few lessons from Sid Meier’s series, but the game also offers up a few twists of its own that make it a unique and worthwhile experience.Ĭreated by Dutch developers Triumph Studios, the Age of Wonders series gained popularity when it began in the late '90s/early '00s, and fans having been waiting ever since for its revival. ‘Just one more turn’ - it’s a phrase I’ve said to myself many times during extended sessions of Civilization, and one that I said equally often during my time with Age of Wonders III. If you do not want the battles to be tediously long, eliminate the first opponent quickly and march towards the second one, straight away.// Reviews // 11th May 2014 - 8 years ago // By Matt Girdler Age of Wonders III Review Do not put off the final attack for too long- the opponent, just like you, keeps o expanding and soon, his armies will be considerable in size. Therefore, go again into the undergrounds and capture his Throne City, where he probably is staying.Ĥ. Thanks to this, he will not have the time to grow a powerful army and, later on, defeating one opponent will become much easier and faster than defeating two. Deal with Gorsmog as quickly as possible. They are located in one of the map's ends, which is a good economic backup, whose losing may hurt.ģ.
Before you start completing the main missions, make sure that your cities have decent protection. Around, there are quite a lot of deposits with gold so, this should do to patch up the deficit.Ģ. If you start running out of it, set your cities in a way so as to enable production of gold. At the beginning of the game, you will quickly obtain several units so, it may happen that your amounts of gold will start to dwindle. Do not leave the city without protection - in the region, there is a quite strong group of the Independent, which is being commanded by a real dragon. Include the city into your empire, thanks to the excellent location, it will serve as the main facility for the recruitment of units, which you should start training right after you annex the city. The Throne City of your opponent is located in the undergrounds, you will find the entrance right after you pass through the passage in the mountain range, several fields above. If you do that fast enough, you will most probably meet Gorsmog, thanks to which you will kill two birds with one stone. At this point, you should already have an army that is sufficient to launch an attack on the Throne City. I recommend that you do the former - the longer you are procrastinating, the stronger your opponent becomes. You can either eliminate the opponent, as quickly as possible, and launch a quick attack on the Throne City, or capture successive cities, one after another. As you enter his lands, you have two options. You will encounter the first opponent right past the narrow passage in the mountain range. The Throne City of the first opponent, located nearly in the center of the undergrounds. Gather your army and go West, towards the center of the map. Start expanding your cities, destroy the places in the region, where the groups of the Independent respawn and ensure enough gold (there are quite a few deposits around so, dispatch your units around the area). As you progress to the West, you will find a town that will join you.
To the North of the place where you started this mission, there is a group of refugees, who you will extend your care over - rebuild the city in the place that they determine (several fields above). This way, you will complete the first side mission and gain, at the same time, some units, as well as cities that will serve as your field bases. Then, capture the city of the opponent ( Voraditius), which is located nearby. The next two cities will task you with capturing an enemy keep and defeating a small arm, as well as capturing one more keep. destroy it and you will obtain your first city this way. Start by capturing the nearest Watchtower.
